Today and Tomorrow
Description
Music of our time is harder to assess; we should remember that today's war-horses were in their own time shockingly modern, and that contemporary audiences often spurned those whom we most venerate today. This program presents a broad cross-section of modern music and musical trends, leaving to listeners the guess as to which will be tomorrow's classics. Contents include excerpts from: Lennon and McCartney's When I'm 64; Varese's Ionization; Stravinsky's The Firebird, Rite of Spring, Symphony in C; Copland's El Salon Mexico; Tippett's Double String Concerto; Messiaen's Pentecostal Mass; Stockhausen's Kontakte; Boulez' Le Marteau sans maitre; Berio's A-Ronne; Ligeti's Melodien; Nono's La Fabbrica Illuminata; Henze's El Cimarron; Cage's Improvisations from "Songbooks.
